Callum Mundo Smith-Ant Dirrell - Vacant WBC Title/USA (Hearn loses $1.2m purse bid).

[Fenster]

So much for Smith getting Anfield for his world title shot, he wont even be in the UK, he gets to fight in front of one man and a dog at an as yet to be named 500 seat club in the States.

Haymon has gazumped Hearn by bidding $1.6m. He lost James DeGale to Haymon last time this happened (with Andre, of course).

Here goes that Whinging Cunt Primo again! Callum Smith has been with Matchroom from day one , so why can't they go the last hurdle and win a purse bid for a vacant title to give their guy the best possible chance. anything can happen away from home, we all know that.
These sums of money are fucking peanuts compared to what those 2 fucking clowns earned on Saturday night. Yeah, yeah, Boxing is a business, but it is also a SPORT!
If Callum Smith threw a few tables around and called everyone under the sun a cunt , he'd be worth a fortune. Unfortunately he's just a very good boxer! SMH

Got a feeling Smith will lose this fight but if he can pull this off it would be up there with the great victories abroad.

PS Joshua is a good guy and he has earned millions so you do not have to be a dick head to earn some money in the sport.

Don't get me wrong, I reckon Smith will win, and I don't think it will be any great shock if I'm honest.
Regarding Joshua, how many guys win Olympic HW Titles, are chiseled like a fucking Greek God statue and talk like they're the fucking terminator! we don't all have that luxury.

I'm expecting Smith to roll through Dirrell. I don't see a stoppage but I think t will be clear and dominant.

Im amazed Hearn didn't go all out and win the bid and bring this fight to Liverpool where the Smith family in general have a big fan base.

I've always said that Callum is the most naturally gifted of all 3 Smith Brothers and he's a huge SMW at just over 6ft 3 inches tall, huge frame too and at 26 it could be his time to shine but this is a massive step up in opponent and he's gotta step up at some stage, he's no stranger to big nights either (Fighting at Goodison Park and the O2) and has fought in the US before at the Stubhub 3 years ago so occasion/travelling shouldn't be a problem.

Dirrell can punch too so Smith needs to be on it.

[Tam Seddon]

Smith will win this on the road and raise his profile. Smith is still improving and I think he will beat Dirrell. It's a good fight and one that opens many doors for the young lad.
